Dining & Events
A Taste of Huế in the Heart of the Forest
Authentic central Vietnamese cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, and the gentle sounds of traditional music — all beneath the canopy of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Where Two Worlds Meet
Our kitchen draws its soul from Huế, the ancient imperial capital of Vietnam — a city celebrated for its refined, intensely flavored cuisine. Fragrant broths simmered for hours, hand-rolled rice paper, fresh herbs, and the subtle heat of central Vietnamese spice find their home here, surrounded by old-growth forest and the quiet of Trout Lake. It is an unexpected pairing, and a deeply memorable one.
The Bar
The Evergreen Bar
The Evergreen Bar is a place to slow down, settle in, and let the evening unfold. Tucked within the lodge, it offers a warm, unhurried atmosphere where guests gather after a day on the trails or the water. Our bartenders craft each drink with care — drawing on the flavors of the forest, the heritage of Vietnam, and the simple pleasure of a well-made cocktail. Whether you're unwinding by the fire with a classic pour or discovering something new, the bar is always a good place to be.
Live Music
Traditional Vietnamese Instrumental Evenings -Đàn Tranh
On select evenings, the lodge comes alive with the sound of traditional Vietnamese music. The soft, delicate strings of the đàn tranh fill the dining room with a quiet, unhurried beauty — the kind that makes you set down your glass and simply listen. These intimate performances are included with dinner and need no reservation beyond your table.
Performance schedule subject to seasonal availability. Check with the lodge for current dates.
